Study Notes
Fractions
- Fractions multiplied by fractions can result in whole numbers or mixed numbers
- Fractions cannot be divided
- Always simplify improper fractions
- Remainders when dividing fractions become the numerator and the denominator stay the same as the original
- To divide fractions, keep the first fraction, change the division sign to multiplication, and flip the second fraction by switching the numerator and the denominator.
- Multiply the numerators and denominators. Simplify if the answer is a fraction
- Find the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators when using fraction diagrams. The number of boxes in the diagram should be the LCM.
- Multiple choice questions about fraction diagrams will have the number of boxes equal to the LCM of the two denominators.
